Goodbye Mr. Morgan.

Jason holds his gun on Scully at the pier. They shoot simultaneously but Joe drops. Jason goes to Bernie, who tries to tell him about the money. Suddenly Duke shoots Jason from behind, then kicks him in the water. Duke turns to Joe, who is struggling to get up. Meanwhile, Bernie calls Sonny and manages to whisper "Pier 52" and "Jason" before Duke flings his phone in the water. He kills Bernie, then shoots at Joe but he is already gone.

At the estate, Monica informs Tracy that Sam and Jason’s baby is alive. Tracy doesn’t want to accept him as a Quartermaine since he is Franco’s baby. Monica thinks Tracy’s greed is showing. She then asks Tracy why she was in her medical bag and Tracy reveals she pulled a bullet out of Joe Jr. Dante came looking for him and told her Joe had kidnapped and tried to kill Kristina. She turned him in, but he was already gone. Monica doesn’t believe Tracy has really turned her back on him. Later, Joe stumbles through the door after Monica has left. He is dying. He just needs Tracy to call his son. She refuses but he tells her about the anti-toxin he gave her. He just wants to say goodbye to his son.

At his apartment, the cops have a few questions for Trey about his father. Sonny shows up and Michael tells him that Joe had been there. Sonny answers Bernie’s call as the cops get notice of shots fired at the pier. Michael and Trey want to go together but Starr refuses. She can’t lose one more person she cares about. Later, Trey’s phone rings. Tracy tells him that Joe needs him now. Trey lies to Michael and Starr and tells them Kristina needs him. He takes off. Michael is worried about Jason. Later, Michael realizes Trey’s call was not from Kristina.

Trey finds his father at the Quartermaine estate. Joe lies and tells Trey that Sonny shot him.

Sonny runs up to Bernie in the pier, who manages to get out that Jason is in the water. Sonny jumps in despite the cops protestations. They drag him out of the water and begin diving. Sonny goes back to Bernie. Scully shot him but … Bernie crashes before he can reveal the true mastermind. Sonny promises that Joe will pay. Later, the coroners zipping up Bernie notice he was shot by two different guns. The divers switch to a search and recovery, not rescue.

Dante meets Lulu at the hospital. She can get pregnant but can’t carry to term. Dr. V comes in and offers to answer any questions. Lulu asks if her abortion could have caused this but Dr. V assures her there is no connection. She recommends Lulu get back on birth control to save herself any more pain and get a second opinion. Alone, Dante comforts Lulu. Dr. V returns with information about alternative ways to have a baby.

In their suite Anna tells Luke that Duke has no DNA on record so his hair will do no good. Luke wants to try fingerprints. Luke has real feelings for her and does not want her to take Duke at face value. They are interrupted by Duke. He wants to take Anna to his place. Luke wants the three of them to do fingerprints first. Anna agrees and it is revealed the prints are an exact match for Duke. Duke now wants Luke to leave them alone.

Sam answers the door at the penthouse for McBain. He was not expecting to see her there. Jason loves the baby and they are a family. But she does not want to leave things unresolved between her and John. She wants him in her life. He just wants her to be happy. His restraining order is still in effect but he is not going to give up on Liam. In the meantime he wants to stay in Port Charles. She wants him to stay. He came over to tell Jason that Manning was released. Sam is too happy to care. As he leaves, she hopes he gets his family back. Later, Sonny shows up.

Tomorrow’s Port Charles spoilers for General Hospital:

Ellie tells Spin, "I think the pool table might be in use at the moment." Mac, Felicia, Shawn and Alexis are playing strip pool.

Maxie sees Lulu and says, "You have been crying. What happened?"

Kristina asks Michael and Starr, "What is going on?" Michael replies, "Trey has gone to see his father."

Sonny won't be blamed for shooting Scummy. He was w/cops when the call came in & he got to the docks after the cops. Bernie said Joe shot him. So Joe was placed at the scene. his blood is probably all over the docks. For the first time the cops will be on Sonny's side. Ironic.

Sam and Danny going to visit Jason in jail for how many years? I don't want to see that. Jason has been shot how many times? It stands within reason that eventually, a gun shot would take him out. Yes, it cowardly of Duke to shoot Jason in the back, but he is a bad guy. That's kind of what they do. They have no code of ethics. Duke knew he would never stand a chance with Jason otherwise. Take advantage of your opponents weaknesses...I think that's number one in the bad guy handbook. How do we know that Steve Burton didn't have a say in the ending? I hate it, but Jason was a hitman. It kinda goes with the territory.

Scrimmage - Yes, you're right this cluster is more full of holes than Sonny was earlier this year. I would propose that instead of going to P'ville, Jason could be found suffering from a hypothermia induced coma and admitted into the VIP suite at GH. At least that way, Sam, Danny and friends could visit without the 2 hr commute.

It's a sad day for General Hospital and all of us who are fans of SB's Jason. This will be a hard one to get over.

The show wont be the same without Jason in it...Its to bad they could not just have wrote the story line and gave him the chance to come back at a later date.

Age87 - I so agree about the disrespectful way Jason's exit was written. Unfortunately I think Duke's already hacked into the PCPD and will have erased himself from the scene.

mamajj - Everyone in PC, expect Tres, knows that Sonny hasn't executed a kill shot in years. I think Tres will become a problem for Michael. I think the writers are going for Mobsters - The Next Generation here.

Bluecow - Great to see you back.

Well Anna - it starts with Duke....The "dumbing down" will continue until we say..."It's time for a new Police Commissioner" I like Anna, BUT.....I guess we will be getting Spinelli to replace her (Hey stranger things have happened)

OH BTW....Tracy isn't much better right now...
